I don't do the readings, and I still have managed to pull in all A's or B+'s at worst, and I am not a natural Einstein. If I did the same strategy as an Engineering student, I wouldn't be in college.

There are majors that people can take to get through college easier, although I think 'skating' by is an overstatement because all that i know of require midterms and papers that ask of effort. I think it would be silly to take a major that you know you will succeed in without working hard because that mentality will transfer over to post-college with jobs. And GPA is becoming increasingly one of the most important things to getting a job anyway... so easy major or not, just graduating isn't going to cut it.
What year are you? "Intro to Communications" =/= "Communication Theory"
